The program, called the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network, is designed to advance the understanding of IC/PBS and CP/CPPS.
The MAPP Research Network will conduct multidisciplinary, collaborative, multi-site, basic, translational, and clinical research. An important focus of the network will be investigation of the biologic and behavioral relationships between IC/PBS and CP/CPPS and other frequently related symptom-based conditions.
